- What possible rewards might come from exploring the seas for new lands?
Wealth was rewarded through discovery of trading route and Christianity was able to spread and predominate worldwide.
- What are the risks involved in embarking on a voyage into the unknown?
Europeans had no idea what lies on the other side of the world. They believed there were sea monsters and heard series of shipwreck stories.
- What will you do if you actually run into other people?
I would attempt to form an alliance since those people might as well have no idea about what lies beyond the horizon. Then I would form relationship with them to share trades and gain wealth.
-Caravel-
The average caravel was 65 feet long and was the first colossal ship to sail against the wind, with the triangular design influenced by the Arabs. Its huge cargo space stored supplies necessary for the sailors long voyages in addition to trade items that made the merchants capable of mass trading with foreign countries.

Route Maps & Discoveries and Achievements & Consequences
pros:
Claimed that Columbus's New Found Land was not part of Asia but a novel world.
The name, America, was coined to honor Vespucci's discovery; it came from his last name, Amerigo
cons:
Expensive trip: equipments such as compass, sextant, etc.
Its success in trading in America rose the jealousy of other nations, creating competitions and conflicts.

Found a route to South America and the Pacific Ocean, which he coined the name.
The ship's complete circumnavigation of the world albeit he death Magellan encountered.

He deceased during his last voyage from a local war
pros:
Exported European goods
Collected diamond and golds from Charlesbourg- Royal
cons:
Crews caught diseases and as many as 25 of them died.
Diamonds and golds were simply mere quartz crystals and iron pyrites
pros:
Huge success in sharing knowledge and goods around Africa and South America
Business of in/export had it first step to global trades

Attempt for globalization through trading and sharing information/culture frequently caused conflicts and wars.
PORT 3: Some impacts of Europe's Age of Exploration. There were were many world-changing impacts that were results of this time period. To be sure many were positive, however, there were also many that were negative. Nonetheless, these must be studied to understand our world today...
Your next task is to look at the Atlantic Slave Trade to get a better understanding of this sad chapter in our history. In your journals, respond to the following essential objectives as you watch the 2 short video segments and scan pages 132-136 in your text...
Identify the causes of African slavery.
Demand for Africans
Mass deaths of American natives made the Africans the source for slave trading
Many Africans hold the immunity to sustain diseases in the America
They were familiar with the agriculture works
Lack of knowledge in the American topography would make them harder to escape
The color of the skin made them easily perceptible when escaping
Explain the Triangular Trade Route.

Identify the consequences of the slave trade.
20 percent of the African aboard slaves suicided by drowning themselves
Human Rights Infringement
Captured Africans worked endlessly
Ate little food
Suffered from beating
Rebellion/Resistance
Methods for abortive progression
Ways to escape
An uprising: Stono Rebellion in Brazil
Your task for this exploration is to read and take CORNELL notes on pages 137-141.
PORT 4: The East isolates itself from this Western exploration nonsense. Not everyone was excited to meet new people. China and Japan are good examples of countries who wanted to preserve their culture more than anything else...SO, let's find out why they really do NOT want you or your ships in their harbors!
